Full description

Enjoy a wonderful day trip to the Atlas Mountains and take an explorative day trip around the Imlil Valley from Marrakech. After being picked up from your accommodation around 9:00 AM, set off towards the Atlas Mountains for a fascinating journey of discovery.

Take in beautiful views on the 45-minute drive through olive tree groves, meadows, and authentic 16th and 17th century Berber villages until you reach the village of Tnine Ourika. A lively weekly market takes place every Monday in this village, attracting people from all over the surrounding area. See fruit orchards, vegetable terraces, and villages clinging to the side of hills. Marvel at the labor undertaken by the Berbers who hoisted materials to construct small houses up mountainsides, and who worked the terraces in a hostile environment.

From Tnine Ourika, you will continue your journey towards the high Atlas Mountains and Imlil Valley through authentic Berber villages and numerous cultivated terraces, heading towards the village of Tahnaout and Asni Valley. After an hour drive, reach Imlil Valley and meet your local guide for a walking tour through the amazing Berber villages of Imlil.

Enjoy its gorgeous waterfalls, then savor a delicious lunch in a local restaurant before setting off on your final walk back to the village center to meet your driver and head back to Marrakech through the Kik Plateau, soaking in the breathtaking views of the Atlas and Agafay Desert.

The day trip was one I would recommend. The driver who picked us up was professional and friendly. The trip to the mountains was nice. But be prepared to stop at some obligatory places where the local Berbers sell their goods. Once we reached the Atlas mountains we were greeted by a guide who took us to the cascading waterfalls. They were beatifull but crowded. So our guide took us of the main trail to a more secluded path. That allowed us really take in the view of the mountains and the small villages. After our light hike (1.5 hours). Our lunch was set up in the middle of the Ourika valley river. It was a perfect ending to a great day.

Buena excursión senderista por el Atlas, con un guía experto (Omar). No era un experto en español, pero se hacía entender perfectamente. Ruta amena de unas 2h antes de comer. Pudimos ver la belleza de los valles y cruzar algún pueblo Bereber. También vimos un par de cascadas pequeñas. La comida muy rica en un hotel con balcón a unas vistas preciosas. Después creía que íbamos a hacer otra ruta corta, pero simplemente hicimos el camino de vuelta a la oficina de la agencia para que nos recogiera el chófer de vuelta.
